YMCA Guidelines for Family Memberships

NEW Family Membership Option for GVSU Students & Link to Join!!!

GVSU and YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids have teamed-up to offer a NEW membership program for our students with some unique benefits and limitations. Please review the following carefully before taking advantage of the Online Family Membership option:

Step 1 - Read and Review Plan Guidelines:
By submitting the Online YMCA Membership form, GVSU is authorized to charge your student account $360 for you and your immediate family members to participate for the academic semester. Family Membership charges will be posted by the following day and are payable to Grand Valley State University in accordance with the University's payment policies. Since this membership is not continuous, an online Billing Request Form must be completed each semester to maintain active membership.

Access to the On-line membership opens approximately 4 weeks prior to the first day of classes and closes three weeks after the first day of classes.

This membership provides access to participating YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids branches and is only valid for one semester; therefore, you must process a new on-line request every semester to maintain active membership.

Conditions and terms:

This special Family Membership rate is only available to students who are enrolled during the specified semester/term

Family Membership includes one or two adults and their dependents living in the same household, all who consider themselves a family

Under this arrangement, GVSU students may opt in/out on a semester by semester basis without incurring a joining fee

Membership is effective from the first day until the last day of the semester.

This membership plan is only made available during the posted on-line enrollment period - approximately 6-7 weeks in duration.

All membership inquiries, including joining after the on-line enrollment period has concluded, and other membership-related requests, e.g., financial questions, should be submitted to the membership services contact.
